Autistic adolescents and their experiences of physical education at school
Background and purpose Autistic adolescents experience difficulties participating in physical education (PE) at school. This is a significant problem as they are less likely to experience the manifold benefits of PE such as physical and mental well-being benefits. There is little research with autistic adolescents examining how to support their participation in PE, with even less research that has included their perspectives. There is a need for …
Keep fit
Exercise has a long history as a therapeutic modality and has existed, in some form, in all cultures throughout recorded history. In recent years, therapeutic exercise has taken on new significance as a relatively low cost medical intervention designed to improve people’s health and well-being and reduce the downstream effects of comorbidity. Drawing our inspiration from Foucault and Deleuze, we argue that seeing therapeutic exercise as primarily…
Boys, bodies, and bullying in health and physical education class
In Ontario, Canada, adolescent boys are increasingly developing a disinterest towards health and physical education (HPE) class, and also are withdrawing from HPE as soon as they institutionally are allowed to do so. To date however, there has been a dearth of research that has explored the various mechanisms that are dissuading boys from active participation, and prompting boys to develop a cultural disaffection towards HPE. Drawing on data from…
Who are you, and what are you doing here’
In the pursuit of understanding declining levels of participation from scholastic Health and Physical Education (HPE), ethnographic research has been increasingly utilised as a tool to explore the intersubjective and intrasubjective meaning-making processes that concurrently invite or dissuade participation. Despite the ostensible epistemological benefits of deploying ethnographic research as a vehicle for better understanding contextual HPE (dis…
Gender performativity during interviews with adolescent boys
The increased use, if not dominance, of interviewing techniques in qualitative research on sport and physical culture demands more focused and critical analyses of the situational factors that may influence the generation of interview data. One of the factors, of course, is the interviewer’s gender as it relates to the gender(s) of the research participants. Previous research investigating the social dynamics of interviewing suggests that gender …
The place of play
In 2010 the Provincial Government of Ontario, Canada introduced a new play-based learning curriculum. Educational stakeholders (i.e. teachers, early childhood educators and student teachers) have been charged with the task of implementing the play-based curriculum, which upholds children's fundamental right to play, as a means to health and well-being. In this paper, we examine educator's experiences with the new play-based curriculum in Toronto,…
